7.5 Highlights and Pitfalls
This procedure is technically safe in experienced hands
and is associated with less postoperative pain and morbidity. Total excision of the entire thymic gland, including
neck extensions of the superior poles should be achieved.
Thoracoscopic technique allows good visualisation of
important structures, as detailed earlier, especially the short
thymic veins and arterial supply. Phrenic nerves are visualised easily; therefore, they are less likely to be injured. No
chest drain is needed. Patients generally are discharged the
following day. Follow-up is with the referring physician.
Pitfalls include incomplete resection of the thymus. There
are descriptions in the adult literature of recurrence due to
aberrant thymic tissue, requiring further surgery, with the
most likely site being pleural [5]. There is always a risk with
thoracosopic surgery that conversion may occur, and this
should be achieved preferably through a midline sternotomy.

Abstract
Most mediastinal cysts are diagnosed at antenatal ultrasound scanning; postnatally most
patients are asymptomatic. The differential diagnosis includes: bronchogenic cysts, oesophageal duplications, neurenteric cysts, thymic cysts, cystic hygromas, and teratomas.
Thoracoscopic excision is the preferred approach for antenatally diagnosed asymptomatic
lesions. Infected cysts are more difficult to excise thoracoscopically. This chapter outlines
the operative procedure for thoracoscopic excision of a mediastinal cyst.

8.2 Working Instruments
• 3- or 5-mm ports and instruments: Maryland, Kelly, and
Johan graspers; Mixter dissector; scissors; needle holder
• Monopolar hook diathermy, ultrasonic scalpel, LigaSure
(Valley Lab; Boulder, CO, USA)
• 5-mm 0° telescope
• Suction irrigation
8.3 Positioning, Port Siting,
Ergonomic Considerations
and
The patient is positioned laterally with the affected side up
and an axillary roll underneath, as for a thoracotomy. For
superior mediastinial cysts, the monitor is positioned over the
patient’s head and the surgeon stands at the foot of the table.
The converse arrangement is used for cysts in the lower half
of the chest. The first port (5-mm, optical) is inserted anterior
to the inferior angle of the scapula in the adjoining intercostal
space. A pneumothorax of 5–6 mm Hg with flows of 1.5–2 L/
min is maintained. After lung collapse, two or three working
ports are inserted under direct vision between the anterior and
posterior axillary lines to achieve effective triangulation and
ergonomic working. Occasionally, a port may have to be
inserted more anteriorly or posteriorly to achieve these goals.

The relevant anatomic structures, from superior to inferior,
are the superior vena cava, phrenic nerve, thymus, azygos
vein, pericardium, trachea, oesophagus, vagus nerve, hilum
of lung, inferior pulmonary ligament and vein, thoracic duct,
inferior vena cava, and diaphragm (Fig. 8.1).

8.5 Surgical Technique
The bronchogenic cyst is grasped and lifted to expose its
base. The mediastinial pleura at its base is incised with a
monopolar hook (Fig. 8.3). The pleura is divided progressively, and the cyst is mobilised using the monopolar hook to
lift the layers away from important structures. Its blood supply is coagulated with monopolar diathermy (Figs. 8.3 and
8.4). Haemostasis may be achieved with judicious use of the
LigaSure or ultrasonic scalpel.
Aspirating large cysts may help dissection as it will
increase the available working space. The cyst is aspirated
and removed through one of the port sites. The port site may
be enlarged to aid removal (Fig. 8.5).
Oesophageal duplication cysts may have a common wall
with the oesophagus, making it more challenging. A large
nasogastric tube or intraoperative oesophagoscopy may help
identify the oesophagus. The cyst should be excised, leaving
the oesophageal mucosa intact. The muscular defect should
then be sutured.
After simple, uncomplicated cyst excisions, the pneumothorax may be evacuated by inserting a 16 F nasogastric tube
via a 5-mm port with the opposite end submerged under
saline in a dish. The anaesthetist may ventilate the lung manually to help it expand and to evacuate the pneumothorax.
Then, the nasogastric tube is removed and the skin is closed.
If the cyst is infected or there is lung, tracheal, or oesophageal injury or repair, it is advisable to leave a chest drain in situ.
A chest X-ray should be done the following day. A small,
asymptomatic, residual, pneumothorax does not require
treatment. Some patients may be discharged on postoperative day 1.

8.6 Alternatives: Patient Positioning
An alternative for posterior mediastinal cysts is to have the
patient positioned laterally and prone, which allows the lung
and mediastinal structures to fall away from the cyst. The
monitor is placed towards the patient’s back, and the surgeon
and assistant stand towards the front. The ports are inserted
and triangulated along the posterior or midaxillary line to
achieve an ergonomic working environment.
8.7 Highlights and Pitfalls
• Thoracoscopic excisions of mediastinal cysts require an
experienced team. The anaesthetist should be competent
in using single-lung ventilation (bronchial blockers,
double- lumen endotracheal tubes), paravertebral blocks,
and thoracic epidural catheters. He or she also should be
able to maintain adequate ventilation with a pneumothorax and collapsed lung. The surgeon must have advanced
skills in minimally invasive surgery and an intimate
knowledge of thoracic pathology and anatomy.
Careful dissection is important to avoid injury to the tho-
•
racic structures, as the cysts may be closely related to
them. During dissection, it is advisable to stay close to the
cyst’s surface.
• The monopolar hook diathermy is an excellent instrument
for dissection. However, caution must be taken to avoid
electrical or heat conduction injuries to the nerves,
oesophagus, and trachea.
• Haemostasis is important for maintaining clear vision
during dissection and may be achieved by the precise
use of monopolar diathermy. Alternatively, haemostasis may be achieved with the use of an ultrasound dissector or LigaSure. It is important to note that high
temperatures are generated with these instruments, and
heat injures are possible; hence, their use should be
precise and in short bursts. Sufficient time should be
given to allow the instrument jaws to cool before holding tissue with it.
• The cyst must be excised completely; otherwise, recurrence is inevitable.

Abstract
Minimally invasive pectus excavatum repair involves placement of a retrosternal steel bar
through bilateral thoracic incisions, with the attendant risks of pericardial/cardiac puncture,
haemothorax, and pneumothorax. These risks are minimised by performing the procedure
under thoracoscopic guidance.
